Yesterday I completed the Saucony London 10K. Although i wasn’t running in support of a specific charity I wanted to use the opportunity to raise awareness for something that’s incredibly personal to my family.

A month ago, on 11th June, a devastating fire destroyed the creative studios at Oxgate House in North West London. Among those who lost everything was my cousin, Jojo, founder of Anwobo.

In hours seven years of hard work disappeared. His studio, specialist equipment, stock, artwork, samples and the foundations of his business were all destroyed.

Time has moved on and the news isnt arent as hard hitting butthe reality for those affected is still the same. They’re rebuilding.

If you’d like to support Jojo directly, I’ve linked his GoFundMe in my bio. Every donation, no matter the size, will help him rebuild Anwobo.

Support doesn’t have to be financial, either. Introductions, industry connections, donated tools, materials, fabric, unwanted clothing that can be repurposed—or simply sharing this post—can all make a real difference.

Jojo also wasn’t alone. Ive included accounts ive come across that also ran business in the space and even they are just a handful of the many talented creatives and small businesses affected by the fire. Check them out and If you come across any others, please show them some love too. A follow, a share, a purchase, or a donation all help these businesses rebuild—not just financially, but by restoring the visibility they rely on.

Thank you to everyone who takes the time to read, share or support. The news may have moved on, but for those affected, the rebuilding is only just beginning.
